How to Make Extra Money Online For Retirement
Introduction


In this article I have focussed on How to Make Extra Money Online For Retirement.
In my earlier post “The digital and internet revolution has changed everything” I gave you an overview of the impact the Digital and Internet Revolution has had on the human life experience over the last 20 years, and took a glimpse into the future and where it might lead us over the next 10 years.
In this article I have focussed on the new opportunities being created, and how we have harnessed the internet’s capabilities to create an almost unlimited number of opportunities for people to make extra money for their retirement online.
The internet is reshaping the human life experience and providing new business opportunities to ordinary people that 15 years ago would have been science fiction.
In this article I have also shared with you, the key benefits of an internet based business vs. the traditional “bricks and mortar” model.
I believe it is really important for people like you and I, who are either approaching or already in “retirement” to understand this new opportunity.
It is becoming really clear that, for a number of reasons, many of our generation will want or need to create additional income to maintain our quality of life in our retirement years.
This brief overview will provide you with an introduction, designed to catch your attention, pique your interest and start your thought process if this is new to you.
Moving forward I will give you step-by-step advice. I will explain your options in greater detail, offer suggestions for the best training, and explain the pitfalls that many people experience and how you can avoid them.
What This Means for You and I


If you want to get the most out of your longer healthier life, I highly recommend you embrace this new technology and find out how you can use it to improve your life experience by earning additional income in your retirement.
The new opportunities the internet has made possible that allow you to create your own business online are limitless.
The good news is, you don’t need to become an expert in the technical stuff to benefit from it. In fact unless you are that way inclined, you would be best to use other people who specialise in those things to do them for you. Believe me it will be cheaper and so much easier in the long run.
If you try to do them yourself, there is a high likelihood that you will become bogged down in the technology rather than focusing on building and growing your business. This is a trap that many people new to the internet (we call them “Newbies”) fall into, and the result for their new venture is frequently terminal
After all, most of us drive a car, but we don’t need to be able to service it, or have an exact understanding of how that car works technically. Well, using the internet is like driving down a superhighway called “The worldwide web”. So fasten your seat-belt, get on the highway and enjoy the ride.
Like any new business venture it will take time to become viable, so the sooner you start the better.
Even if you are still some way off retiring, getting started now and laying the foundations of your new business will maximise your income earning potential when you do retire. It may even lead you to bring that day forward! Wouldn’t that be great?
In recent years many people, including over 50’s, across the globe have explored the new era of digital commerce-the internet, as they have recognised the opportunities it has created to make extra money for their retirement.
I have been involved in Internet Marketing now for nearly 6 years, after giving up my lifelong Corporate career in late 2012. I have learnt a lot and made a lot of mistakes that I will help you to avoid. So I have knowledge and experience that will help you to move forward if you decide its something that might work for you, and sharing that with you is my intention.
I have also extensively researched or tried all the most popular internet business programs currently available. The good news is that now, in late 2018, the programs and tools available have made creating and growing an internet business far less complex than it was when I started out.
There are now programs available that have really simplified starting and growing your online business profitable quickly. They do this by providing all the tools you need, so you don’t have to do the technical stuff yourself, and by licensing their digital and educational products to their affiliates to sell. There is even a program that does the selling for you.
Benefits of an Online Business
Here are some of the most important benefits of an online business over a traditional bricks and mortar business:
- The start-up costs for a new internet based business are very low when compared to a bricks and mortar business. I have a friend that owns a deli in the high street of a small Sydney suburb and he told me that the costs to set up the premises were over $500,000. This makes the up-front cost of the top “done for you” internet marketing business opportunities currently available, ranging from $1,000 to $15-20,000 to become fully positioned, seem like a ridiculously low investment.
- You don’t need to rent a physical store or showroom, or hire the on-site staff to run the store, and there’s no stock to manage or finance.
- One of the great features of an online business is that it allows anyone to create a product once and resell it an infinite number of times. Never in the history of business has an entrepreneur had so much leverage and such little risk.
- You can also promote products created by other online businesses and make substantial commissions, which depending on the type of product you are promoting, can be as high as 40-50%. This is known as Affiliate Marketing, and is one of the most popular ways to earn money online. I am familiar with several high quaslity programs to learn the skills and get stafrted I can recommend iof ypou decide this is for you
- The internet never sleeps. It runs 24/7, 365 days a year. This means you can have in essence “digital salesmen” working for you around the clock.
- You can run your business from anywhere in the world where you can get an internet connection, with just your laptop, tablet or iPhone.
- Automation is big online. You can have nearly an entire business set-up to run for you on autopilot. This means you can be off, doing whatever it is you like to do, and you’re making money in the process.
- It’s easy to find buyers and sell online. With over 3 billion internet users worldwide and over 90 English speaking countries; there is a massive potential market for your products.
- The tyranny of distance no longer exists. You can email somebody on the other side of the world as easily as you can talk to your neighbour across the fence.
- You can talk to potential customers face to face on Skype, google hangouts and Facebook Messenger free of charge. Who needs aeroplanes to do business?
All of the above make it very easy to get targeted and happy buyers online that will buy what you have to sell
Conclusion
The internet is reshaping the human life experience and providing new business opportunities to ordinary people that 15 years ago would have been science fiction.
WARNING: You need to be clear up front that there are no magic pills, no quick fortunes to be made. This is about building a high quality business, with great products or services that fulfill a need that some people have, and that they are willing to pay someone to provide for them.
This will take time and action. But the more effort you put in during the set-up and learning phase, the greater the long-term rewards will be.
